Donald Trump is set to meet with Bill Maher after a decades-long feud with the liberal comedian in a summit brokered by mutual friend Kid Rock at the White House.
Maher has long insulted Trump even before his formal entry into politics, with a lawsuit launched by the president in 2013 over claims made by the comedian that Trump’s father was an orangutan.
As recently as late 2024, Trump ranted against Maher as a ‘befuddled mess, sloppy and tired.’
However, Kid Rock appears to be attempting to make peace or at least a meeting between the two.
Maher told fellow comic Andrew Schultz on an episode of his podcast Club Random set to debut Sunday that the meeting is happening.
‘Kid Rock was here a couple of weeks ago, and he said, ‘I want you to meet Trump.’ He said, ‘I’m gonna take you to the White House.’ So now we’re gonna do that,’ Maher said.
The 54-year-old musician – real name Bob Ritchie – announced he was going to take Maher, a longtime friend, for a visit on Glenn Beck’s show recently.
‘I’m actually going to try and unite this country and I’m starting at the end of the month I’m taking Bill Maher to the White House for dinner,’ he said.
